Meridee Winters School of Music is seeking skilled and reliable musicians to join our teaching faculty. This position involves providing in-home music instruction to students of all ages throughout the Main Line area. Teaching experience is welcome but not required, as we provide comprehensive training.
Whether your primary instrument is guitar, violin, piano, voice, or another discipline, we welcome versatile musicians who believe in the educational and developmental value of music. If you're curious about how excited a five year can be when they master "Ode to Joy" (answer: very excited), this is the job for you.
